Chicagoans buy out street vendors amid #Trump #immigration crackdown

The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods & stopping at tamale carts, elote stands & candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food & deliver it to #shelters & #families in need.

But as fear spread, so did something else — neighbors stepping up for one another & finding creative ways to show up for vendors & restaurant owners. This includes a grassroots effort to organize so-called “buy out” events meant to allow vendors who fear being detained by #immigration agents to go home early.

Since the start of a federal #immigration crackdown that has led to >3,200 arrests in the #Chicago metropolitan area, streets & storefronts in the city’s Latino neighborhoods have emptied out. Street vendors, fearing arrest, have been afraid to leave their homes to #work. Local restaurants have struggled as customers stay home.

Based on the testimonies of 40 men who were detained at #CECOT, as well as interviews with 150 other people—including lawyers & relatives in #Venezuela, #Colombia, & the US—it paints a damning picture of the abuses inflicted at CECOT.

The #Venezuelans were released in July and returned to their country of origin as part of a prisoner swap deal. Shortly after their release, 3 of the men told MJ that they faced severe #abuse.

As MJ & other outlets have reported extensively, most of the men had NO serious criminal history in the #US or elsewhere in the world. What they often had instead were #tattoos that bore NO relation to the gang.

The new report offers even more evidence of the #inhumane treatment the #Venezuelan #immigrants endured in #ElSalvador.

In early 2025, the #Trump admin flew Venezuelan immigrants to Salvadoran President #Bukele’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center [ #CECOT], where they were held for 4 months without communication w/ their families & lawyers. The US govt had accused the men of being members of the transnational gang Tren de Aragua & removed most of them from the #US under the #AlienEnemiesAct—an 18th-century #law that Trump has invoked for only the 4th time in US history.

#Beatings. #SexualAssault. #PsychologicalAbuse. These are some of the horrors endured by the >250 men the #UnitedStates sent to #ElSalvador on flimsy evidence of gang membership, acc/to a new comprehensive report released on Wednesday by #HRW & #Cristosal, a #HumanRights group focused on #CentralAmerica.

Good. Stop enabling the fascist #Trump regime’s #ExtrajudicialKillings

#UK suspends some #intelligence sharing with #US over boat strikes in major break

The #UnitedKingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the #Caribbean because it does not want to be #complicit in US #military strikes & believes the attacks are #illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

The White House has said repeatedly that the #Trump admin’s actions “comply fully with the Law of Armed Conflict,” the area of #InternationalLaw that is designed to prevent attacks on #civilians.

But legal experts say the #LawOfArmedConflict would still apply to civilian drug traffickers, & the designation of a group as a foreign #terrorist organization does not automatically authorize the use of lethal force.

#law #murder #DueProcess #WarPowers #Congress

…the #Trump admin has argued that the #US #military can legally kill suspected traffickers because they pose an imminent threat to Americans & are “enemy combatants” who are in an “armed conflict” with the US, acc/to a memo sent by the admin to #Congress. The #DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion, which is still classified, reinforcing that argument, …& Trump has designated a number of drug cartels as “foreign terrorist groups.”

#Trump has accused boat crews of being *narco-terrorists*. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced

One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a fmr military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver.

The men had little in common beyond their Venezuelan seaside hometowns & the fact all 4 were among the >60 people killed since early Sept when the US #military began attacking boats the #Trump admin alleges were smuggling drugs. Trump & top US ofcls alleged the craft were being operated by narco-terrorists & cartel members bound with deadly drugs for #US communities.
